Apart from the glowing lights, this actually has seemingly NOTHING to do with tron, the original video doesn't have anything to do with tron anywhere in the wording, and the description is as follows:

"The full version of CM performance was appointed as the mobile phone company by street dance crew WRECKING CREW ORCHESTRA FAMILY representing Japan.
Has been produced in the original costume, control systems, such as the choreography."

Also, as they're working off of a CD or MP3, this is very much not live music.

So, no, not tron. *Nochannel *Scifi *Dance *Skillful *Music

I'm not terribly youtube savvy, but if someone can extract the audio from this, then I've found my new ringtone!



I was serious, and thanks!

Can't use this for every ringtone- I do have a job after all, but I have the perfect personal ringtone in mind.

Hopefully the laser has an mp3 player so it can play this soundtrack while it burns things.

I used to play this game where we would use the old win 95 sound recorder to reverse a word, figure out how it sounds, then rerecord us saying it in "backwards" speak, and reverse it to see if we got close. It was a lot of fun, but there are some sounds I just can't make


Myself and my bandmates used to get very drunk and do this with entire songs. It was just the funniest thing, especially when you went to the trouble of doing the harmonies in a vocal. Learning backwards melodies is well hard because when reversed they make absolutely no sense. Often we'd do only a few words at a time.

Amazing skill that she has, I'd be even more impressed if she could pronounce them phonetically backwards, rather than pronouncing them as if the reverse spelling was an actual word. I enhanced and reversed some of the audio to see how close she was. You can listen on dropbox:

No scanner would see a program in an image, realize it's an executable and execute the program all without the user's knowledge.
It's barely possible that you could transfer a workable program that way through fractals, and the people on the other end would have to spend weeks or months decoding the program before they could make it run IF they could figure out what it was in the first place.
pattern might be constructed in such a way that when scanned it can confuse any piece of software in the chain to cause a buffer overrun, at which point they could craft the following data to actually be executable and contain malware payload.
This is kinda what happened in a few instances of MP3-based viruses. MP3 file's metadata was malformed in such a way that it would crash the player and execute trojan payload that was embedded in that MP3 file.
Look up information about MP3Concept(MP3Virus.Gen)
There was another incident that involved MP3 file played in Winamp player. I can't find link about it now.
So while realistically unlikely, it's possible.

The main difference there being that the MP3 was a digital file which had been manipulated, not a sound recording. The file was corrupted in a very clever way. In the show the bone 'picture' was taken by the forensics team. They did not bring in a file the guy had created, they took a photograph. You can't insert corrupted data, because the data is coming from the camera they own.
you've never had a legitimate program crash while working with a legitimate file? this is when malware gets to do its stuff.

I agree....if it had been something a little more rare like an 8-Track it would have been more believable. Even though LP's aren't around like they used to be they are not extinct...I would assume most teens these days are familiar with "DJ's" that still mix and scratch using records.>> ^Trout:
Hmmm... BS meter blinkin' a bit. Methinks looks kinda staged?



Rarely are DJ's using LP's do mix with now. It's kind of sad but to be honest, you can do a lot more with MP3 mixers than with turn tables. At the very least, LP's are dying out as a medium for DJ's. It's not entirely dead yet but it's becoming more rare rapidly. Anyone who is coming into it now probably wont see records used by a DJ very often.

I see that. I just tried to stream videos from my Amazon prime account, but failed, since I'm in China. Can't use Netflix either.

I generally don't care about sound quality up to a point.>> ^ChaosEngine:

I'm curious; as far as music goes, I thought Amazon and iTunes were OK. What practical restrictions are there to use in those two? I haven't seen any and I use both services. In the beginning iTunes had restrictions, but not know as far as I see.

"We could not process your order. The sale of MP3 Downloads is currently available only to US customers located in the United States. "
Fuck. That. Shit.
I genuinely believe in protecting IP. And I'm absolutely willing to pay for the content I want, but the content providers are actively pushing me towards piracy. It's even worse where movies and tv are concerned. The new season of Sherlock just finished in the UK. I have money sitting here and I will happily give it to the people who made the show to let me watch it (for a reasonable price), but there is currently no legal means for me to acquire that content.
Now the standard internet response here is that I should go pirate it, but I do not believe that is moral. But really content peoples, you're not making it easy.
It's actually ridiculous. Can you imagine a bricks and mortar shop telling people they don't want their money?

I still say the best argument to piracy is things like iTunes, Amazon MP3, and Netflix.


Agreed. Steam too.

Give me the ability to download the content I want without overly restrictive DRM and I will happily pay for it. Oh and geographical restrictions can fuck right off too.

surely I don't know what you're talking about.>> ^deathcow:

Seriously needs that sound when the Flintstones all use their feet to make the car go.

Bah, Amazon's MP3s are album only? LAME!!!
